M mrt209 macrumors 6502 Nov 21, 2010 445 44 USA/Germany Sep 21, 2018 #2 The cases with built in magnets generally have smaller/weaker magnets, and in some cases only really work with a mount sold by the case manufacturer (ex: pitaka). I would recommend just getting a case you like and adding a metal plate like these: https://www.amazon.com/SCOSCHE-MagicMount-Magnetic-Mount-Replacement/dp/B00I608BG6/ Some cases like the Spigen Thin Fit have a cut out for the plates. I am using this case: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Liquid-Armor-Designed-iPhone/dp/B07GTCS2BJ/ Ignore the reviews, 2 of them seem suspect (almost identical).

The Pitaka cases just have metal plates embedded, they work with any magnet (I have one). As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
